• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup melted butter

• Optional: crispy bacon bits or mini sausage links for added flavor

3. How to Make the Perfect Breakfast Bites: Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the pancake bites will have a light and fluffy texture.

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.

Create the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can affect the fluffiness of your pancake bites.

Cook the Pancake Bites

Preheat your Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master or your preferred mini muffin tin. Grease lightly with non-stick spray. Spoon the batter into each cavity, filling slightly over the top. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Finish and Serve

Allow the pancake bites to cool slightly before drizzling with maple syrup or dipping in your favorite sweet or savory sauces. For an extra breakfast flavor, add crispy bacon bits or mini sausage links inside the batter before baking.

4. Storage Tips for Your Breakfast Bites

Store leftover pancake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bites and reheat in the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast for a quick and crispy snack. Reheating time is approximately 3-5 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
